A few pics with the new wheels.

I love this photo (Above). Let me know what you think of the new wheels.

Dyno graph showing the before and after going from a PowerTorque Maf tune to PowerTorque Mafless Tune. Great results as you can see.

I went to a test and tune at Willowbank then night that I had the tune redone and netted my first 12 second pass....



Clicky - Here is a Vid of a run at Willowbank after my 12 second pass (excuse the quality it was on my phone). As you can here the clutch slipped a bit on the launch making this run not quite as fast as the 12 second run before it. ( Excuse the Hyper Ute that runs second - thats my brothers slow ute - JSN85 )

Let me know what you think of my pride and joy.

Nice!
Wheels wouldn't be my choice but it's only my opinion, certainly something different.
Nice mods to come, good luck with it.

Thanks for the feedback guys.

About the wheels - I liked them in the 19s but I wasn't keen to pay for $4500 for originals and tyres.

I wasn't to sure about them when I put them on for the first time after taking the original wheels off. But they have grown me now and I like them.. I still think the original wheels do look better and if I could offload the new ones I would get another set of original mags again.

The reason that I got the new ones are because the tyres were shot on my original rims and I they had a two of them had gutter rash on them. So i thought I may as well get a new set of rims and change the appearence a bit while I was at it.

As for the performance the LS1's sure do produce power pretty easily.. There is pretty much a set path for the bolt ons which if you go to the right shop (PowerTorque :bow: ) you get the power and Quater mile times, all you need is the $$ to do it.

Thanks guys
